Man born of woman is of few days and
no teeth. And, indeed, it would be
money in his pocket sometimes if ne had
less of either.
As for his days, he wasteth one.third Of
them; and for his teeth, he has convul-
sions when he cuts them, and, as the last
one comes through, 10! the dentist! is
twisting the first one out, and the last
end of that mans jaw is worse than the
first, being full of porcelain and roof
plate built to hold blackberry seeds
He buyeth Northwestern at 40, when
he has sold short at SO, and his neighbor
unloadeth upon him Iron Mountain at
63s, and it straightway breaketh down
to 424
He riseth up early and stitch up late,
that he may fill his barns and stOrehouses,
and lol his children's lawyers divide the
spells among themselves, and say,
"Ha-ha ~
He growleth and is sore distressed,
because it raineth and he beateth upon
his breast and sayeth, my crop is lost y
because il raineth not. The late rains
blight his wheat, and the frost biteth his
peaches
If it be so that the sun shineth, even
among the nineties, he ssyeth, "Woe is me,

sigheth down in forty-two below, he
crieth, Would were dead y
If he wear sackcloth and blue jeans,
men say, He is a tramp" and if he
goeth forth shaven and clad in purple
and fine linen, all the people cry, shoot
the dude
He carrieth insurance for twenty-five
years, until he has paid thrice over for all
his goods, and then he letteth his policy
lapse one day, and that same night fire
destroyeth his store.
He buildeth him house in Jersey, and
his first born is devoured by mosquitoes.

there is no rest for the sole of his foot,
and if he had it to do over again, he
would not be born at all, for "the day OF
death Is better than the day of ones
birth"

The hanging of Mrs. Druse for most
atrocious murder brings considerable
number of sentimentalists to the front
with the usual morbid objections to the
death penalty. The New York Legisla-
ture, upon consideration of the question
of abolishing capital punishment for wo-
men very properly sat down on the prop
osition A jury has all the humanity to
allow amargin in such cases and to them
should be left the degree of allowance, il
any is to be given to women in the mat
ter of crime.

Vitlealture In CALIFORNIA;.

The planting, cultivation, picking and
ornnIns Of the California grape has a great
many advantages over the same processes in
France and other European grape growing
sections OF country But these are all bal
anced by the low price Of labor in those
countries as compared to that paid by Cali
fornia viticulturi,ts, In the first place, the
California vineyards are entirely free from
stones, end no fertilizers are necessary or are
used. There is no snow at all and seldom any
rain or hail from pruning time 10 vintage.
There are as yet no bugs Of much concern,
and the ravages Of the phylloxeTa in Napa
and Sonoma counties have been much sub
dued. The ravases of the phyloxers in
Franco have been dreadful; for, out Of her
ara of 5.146 7S3 acres in 1884, Sol, 21S acres
were attacked. and arc now dead or dying.
Previou, TO 1894 there had been 1,072, 500
acres Of fine grape vines totally destroyed,
and her total production Of wine in 1885 was
627, 795, 500 gallons, 300OO0,OOO less than the
(nean product of ten previous seasons. Our
other advantages are double crop per acre
and The general warmth and equability of the
California climate, where fermentation IS
carried on without artificial heat while i'll
other grape countries fires have TO be kept mp
in the cellars during winter. Land is cheaper
in California than in France, and interest on
money nowadays only a trifle higher.-New
York Times.

CONGRESS-.

1t seems probable that there will be an
extra session, the necessity being in the
claim of the Senate to reasonable
amount of time to consider the appro-
priation bills which have been sent from
the House so late in the session that it
would be impossible for the Senate TO pass
them, except in conventional way, with
out due consideration.
There need not be any great to do over
the calling of Congress in extraordinary
session. The first duty of the Govern
ment, which in this part of its authority
consists of the two branches Of Congress
and the President, is to attend to the
peoples business faithfully, and, in return
for the confidence of those who appoint
them, to give sufficient time and labor to
all necessary measures.
Mr. Randall is charged with delaying
the proper action on certain measures by
absenting himself from conference.
Suppose he does There is no use in the
Republicans trying TO make scapegoat.
If one man or dozen fail in their duty,
it is not the less imperative on Others to
do theirs.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1887-03-02

Several of the regular appropriation
bills have not yet reached the Senate, and
this, with other difficulties, moves many
congressman to call aloud for an extra
session. The sundry civil bill was re-
ferred to conference, but owing to one
recalcitrant conferree from the House
it has not been agreed on, and must take
its chances in the rush that always
characterizes the last days of a busy
session

lie Knew All About 1t.

Professor Fidele Zzzenbart, as every
genius, is somewhat eccentric The following
is told OF him. A gentleman asked him one
day;
"Professor, why don't you publish some of
your compositions"
"Why don't II Well, sir, in the first place,
II you write something, you can't find a pub
Usher; if you do find publisher he viii not
pay you anything; if the piece is published
nobody will buy it; if somebody buys 1t he
can't play it, and if he can he don't like 1t. "

plotted so deliberately because she was
condemned to be hung for numbering her
husband in most cold-blooded manner.
There is a natural consequence to crime,
and the criminal ought to be allowed
quietly to take the responsibility-not as
some sentimentalists say for the benefit
of criminals, but for the benefit of
society

Last summer. when Edwin Booth visited
Cohasset. where Robson and Crane live, the
tragedian took Master Stuart Robson Crane

A teacher in one Of the Boston primary
schools was interesting her little pupils with
talk on natural history, and prefacing tho
consideration of each animal with question
as to whether the children had ever seen the
animal named At length she spoke of the
elk, and Immediately asked: Have any OF
you ever seen an elki' One bright little fell
low Immediately raised his hand. well,
George, have you seen oneT' "Yes, maam,"
came the prompt response my father is an

species that she had left entirely out Of her
calculations. Boston Budget.

The attack of the Republican organs
on the Democratic House and the Adj
ministration is all circus card, like the
Danville massacre and Mr. Hoar's re-
cent Texas outrage.
The Republicans suicided themselves
with their corruption, and they cannot
bring themselves to life with charging
their death as an outrage committed by
Democrats. And that's all there is
about it.

Madam Bernhardt Sara was caught
by the Herald man at Danville, on her
return from Mexico to invade and con-
Quer the United States. She explained
her adventures in shooting alligaters
and going to Bull fight, route and
revel," as Byron expresses it, and then
referring to another sporting incident,
she remarked:
AN unhappy, crazy woman, Nine
Noirmont, at that time a member of my
company, came to the theatre and wanted
to take some trunks away. Mr.. Grau said
that she could not have them; but the
man who called on her behalf said that it
was ! who said that she could not have
her trunks. The result was that she called
on me and struck me. She insulted me-
and afterwards horsewhipped her for SO
doing that's all"

Governor Hill, of New York, has been
entered for the Presidential year of 1888.
Tilden and Cleveland are two good
winners to show how New York State
can breed and train Presidents, but the
only thing is, can Governor Hill beat the
favorite? There will be a time when
New York will have to consider the rest
Of the country.
